GLS 20s or 21” wheels
Does anybody have any experience With the ride quality differences between driving on a 20 inch wheel versus a 21 inch wheels?
.I’m currently on 20 inch wheels amend the ride is soft and comfortable, but I have the opportunity to purchase original GLS 63 wheels that fit my vehicle however they are 21 inch the tires are practically new Continental extreme contact DWS06+
Thank you all in advance!

I have the 22" AMG wheels from a GLS63 on mine. There is a difference but i think it is such an individual preference that its hard to say one way or another. The ride is firmer and I definitely feel the chop and square edge bumps a little more. But the car handles better and looks so much better than it does with the stock 20" that I dont mind. It is not uncomfortable at all, just not as forgiving on rougher roads.

Yes vehicle looks awesome thank you for sharing and give me your opinion.
Those are the exact wheels Only in 21s.
What kind of tires are you running and are the wheels staggered?

Sorry disregard my previous message, I thought this was the 167.
Maybe this site will help you compare the specs:
